eople living with HIV in the UK continue to have lower life satisfaction and #QualityOfLife than the general population. Despite huge progress in treating and preventing HIV, it remains a stigmatised condition. We can ensure these fears don't stop them from enjoying their lives

The UK's #HIV response is failing women. In 2023, new cases increased the most in heterosexual women, but they are less likely to be offered or to take a test. Too many are diagnosed with HIV late, when it is more likely to have affected their health.

Over12,000 people living with #HIV are not in care. Every single one of these people must be found, re-engaged into care, and supported to live well with their HIV. Our new report looks at how a national strategic approach is needed. nat.org.uk/publicati...#HIV

#MentalHealth services, including #TalkingTherapies, need to be able to support people living with #HIV. To meet those needs, we've worked with NHS #England on a specialised HIV training module for therapists. Found out more about this e-learning module: www.e-lfh.org.uk/pro...#MentalHealth

The #WorldAidsDay RED RUN returns to Victoria Park, East London for its 15th year on 22/11/25. Sign up today to support National AIDS Trust running or walking 10K or 5K to strengthen the UK's response to HIV. #redrunuk #takeactionlaceup http://redrun.org.uk

28 years on, #PrincessDiana’s empathy still echoes. She didn’t just challenge #HIV stigma around— she reshaped the public’s understanding of the epidemic, one hand-shake, one conversation, one act of kindness at a time. We honour our late Patron today by continuing that work.

A funding crisis is putting #Scotland's #HIV support services at risk, and threatens the goal to end new HIV cases by 2030. A new briefing from HIV Outcomes UK, based on insights from charities and clients, outlines why these services must be safeguarded. nat.org.uk/news/scot...

5,200 people living with HIV have not yet been diagnosed. National AIDS Trust and @the_nudge_unit have assessed the potential role for financial incentives in increasing HIV testing in the UK, particularly among underserved populations. Read the full report: nat.org.uk/publicati...

1 in 3 people living with #HIV in the #UK have been diagnosed with a #MentalHealth condition at some point. All people living with HIV should have access to appropriate mental health care and support that meets their needs. Find out more nat.org.uk/what-we-d...

Equality in name only? Our research uncovers the concerning experience of discrimination for people living with #HIV because of their status across the #UK, with healthcare services and workplaces often breaching the Equality Act. Find out more nat.org.uk/news/equa...#HIV

The #NHS digital transformation holds real potential for strengthening the #UK’s #HIV response but only if the right safeguards, investment, and co-production with communities are put in place, writes our Senior Policy Manager James Cole on our website: nat.org.uk/views/nhs...

People living with #HIV should have the right to determine when, or even if, they share their status. Someone’s HIV status is personal health data and should not be shared without explicit and informed consent.

HIV has changed. Yet misinformation and stigma still remain. Ensure you are up to date with the latest advancements in #HIV and let your friends know too nat.org.uk/about-hiv...

11 cases of #HIV have being found in #Leeds hospitals in the first eight months of routine emergency department testing. Opt-out testing saves money, removes stigma, and finds people who otherwise might not receive a test, while helping to stop new cases.
